For brothers who are already married and have female dependents, even if they are worried, it is not easy to directly enter the house.
The fourth elder brother arrived at the front yard.
When He Yuzhu got the news and came over, he was scolded.
"How do you servants serve me? My brother is not feeling well, and he knows how to ask someone to go on duty and ask for leave. Why don't you know how to teach the imperial doctor?"
The fourth elder brother kept chattering, and he also saw the shortcomings of the ninth elder brother. There were no older people to watch, and the people around him were too young.
He Yuzhu was sarcastic. He waited until the fourth elder brother finished scolding him and then said: "Our master took Fujin back to Ning yesterday and had a few more cups of wine..."
Fourth elder brother: "..."
His face became darker.
At such a young age, he actually learned to drink alcohol!
That's why I can't scold the slave.
He stood up and wanted to leave, when he saw Brother Ten coming over with sweat on his forehead.
"Brother Ninth is sick. Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere? Is he suffering from heatstroke?"
The tenth elder brother came in and asked nonstop.
He Yuzhu said: "I went to Dutong Mansion yesterday and drank a few more cups..."
After hearing this, Brother Ten was relieved.
He knew that the Dutong Mansion served wine yesterday.
Seeing the ugly expression on the fourth elder brother's face, the tenth elder brother asked He Yuzhu, "Sister-in-law Ninth will probably stop Brother Ninth from drinking too much. Is it possible that Brother Ninth drinks the wine himself?"
This is because he is afraid that the fourth elder brother will misunderstand and think that Shu Shu is careless or that the elders of the Dong E family are inconsiderate.
He Yuzhu nodded and said: "Yesterday, the master brought the wine by himself, and he greeted Lord Qi and Prince Kang..."
Fourth elder brother's face still looks ugly.
If someone else was toasting, it would be somewhat excusable.
Is it the Yue family or in front of outsiders?
But it would be inappropriate to find a drink by yourself.
"Bastard thing!"
The fourth elder brother whispered: "You are so old, but you still don't want to worry about it!"
Brother 10 has nothing to say.
The fourth elder brother glanced at the tenth elder brother, and remembered the purpose of today's visit, and said: "There will be wine at Babeile Mansion tomorrow. The wedding invitations were sent a few days ago. Remember to come with your ninth brother tomorrow!"
The tenth elder brother hesitated after hearing this.
The fourth elder brother frowned and said: "Brothers, there is no big conflict, how can we reach the point where we have no contact with each other until we die?"
The tenth elder brother said: "Fourth brother misunderstood. The younger brother is thinking about his younger brother Fujin, and he will go there tomorrow..."
The fourth elder brother's expression softened slightly and he said, "Well, everyone should go."
The two were talking, and Brother Jiu yawned and walked in.
Although he was not happy to get up, when the news of the previous visitor came in, he was still pushed awake by Shu Shu.
He felt his head was "buzzing" and feeling very heavy.
"Is something wrong, fourth brother?"
He looked at the fourth elder brother sleepily, then looked at the tenth elder brother, and said: "Old Ten is here too..."
Seeing his disheveled appearance, the fourth elder brother was disgusted and said, "What kind of makeup is this?"
It turns out that the ninth prince is wearing half of his trousers with loose legs, and his upper body is also like a vest, and half of his arm is missing.
It looks very loose, but it doesn't look like serious clothes.
"It's not like I'm out here. I'm wearing something cool like this..."
Brother Jiu looked down at himself and said proudly.
Immediately, he glanced at Brother Si with disgust.
Tsk tsk!
The buttons on the collar are so tight, and the clothes on the body are also straight, just to look decent.
If you don't protect all the places you can't see, there will be prickly heat.
Who knows who suffered...
The tenth brother was happy to support him, and he praised: "Brother Ninth, this coat looks really cool. I will give my brother some clothes later, and I will also send the sewing people to make two sets..."
Brother Jiu said: "I've made a lot of sets, some of which are shirtless. You can just get a set. Just remember that this one doesn't use silk or gauze. It's best to use Songjiang cloth, which absorbs sweat and is compliant!"
The fourth elder brother glared at the ninth elder brother and said, "I don't know how much I drink. I drink so much that I will not only suffer the consequences, but also delay my errands!"
Brother Jiu rubbed his temples and said with a grimace, "This time, my brother has a better memory, but I have agreed that I won't drink it tomorrow!"
This is not actually the case.
I just don’t want to drink outside.
When you are at home, you can have a drink and enjoy yourself.
Fourth elder brother: "..."
He came here for tomorrow's business.
Seeing that Brother Jiu had realized himself and had no intention of not going, he stopped talking.
Just as he was about to get up, another guest arrived outside.
Third brother is here.
Although in the eyes of the third elder brother, the ninth elder brother loves other people and avoids them, but he is also worried that the brothers will get together and gossip and exclude him.
Therefore, after receiving the news and knowing that Brother Si had come to Sisu, he also came over.
The fourth elder brother and the tenth elder brother both stood up.
Brother Jiu didn't get up, he held his forehead and muttered: "This is really..."
Night owls come into the house - they come for everything.
Not willing to get together anyway.
It was so nice to be quiet before, but now that the third child's family has moved to the second house, he has a premonition that it will not be quiet in the future.
As soon as the third elder brother came in, he noticed something strange about the ninth elder brother.
"What's going on here?"
He said with a bit of surprise: "You don't look good looking at this. It's because... you didn't rest last night, right?"
The ninth elder brother rubbed his forehead and looked at the third elder brother. He felt that the third elder brother was too annoying and could not speak well at all.
Weird, what does this mean?
Directly talking about the matter in the brother's room?
After the third elder brother finished speaking, he also realized that he had made a mistake. He coughed lightly and said, "What I mean is that he looks a little short-tempered and his eye sockets are blue..."
Brother Jiu snorted and didn't want to pay attention to him.
The fourth elder brother said from the side: "I was drunk yesterday, I deserve it!"
Brother Jiu really wanted to explain that he was really not an alcoholic.
I just drank five or six cups.
It's because the wine from my in-law's family is better and more mellow than the wine outside, so it's more intoxicating.
When the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back.
There are many good drinkers in Eight Banners, so I won’t cause any trouble to the Yue family.
Don't show off.
The third elder brother was allowed to sit at the top, and he also knew the reason. He looked at the ninth elder brother disapprovingly and said: "Fortunately, the Ministry of Internal Affairs is not busy with errands. Otherwise, it will delay things too much, and we will not be able to do this again in the future..."
"
Brother Jiu felt even more irritable.
The third elder brother continued: "According to me, the stall in the Ministry of Internal Affairs is too big. It's not appropriate for you to be alone. It's better to have an experienced person to look after you..."
The ninth elder brother understood, looked at the third elder brother and said, "Third elder brother, have you drunk too much?"
Third Brother: "..."
How do you say this?
He moved his nose. Could it be that he smelled of alcohol somewhere?
Brother Jiu sneered: "If you hadn't drunk too much, you wouldn't have been able to talk to your brother about this! Is Ma Qi immature, Haryatu immature, or He Yi immature?"
Third Brother frowned and said, "I'm talking about you, the Prime Minister..."
Brother Jiu curled his lips and said: "You also know that your younger brother is the Prime Minister, and there is no shortage of people to work below, so why are you grinding your teeth? Stop thinking, Khan Ama will not let you come to the Ministry of Internal Affairs..."
When he revealed what he had said, the third elder brother felt a little embarrassed.
The third elder brother was unhappy and said: "Why don't you give in? I don't believe that I can't do as well as you?"
Brother Jiu rolled his eyes and said, "Do you need to elaborate? Why did Ama let Ma Qi, the Minister of Household Affairs and the Director of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, because he wanted to communicate with the economy. Third brother, do you know what economy is?"
Third Brother: "..."
He was dissatisfied and said: "They are all studying in the study room. Why don't I know what economics is? Lao Jiu, you are not used to this, how can you still look down on others!"
Brother Jiu raised his eyebrows and said, "I'm not lying. Third brother, your math skills back then were just a bit worse than others..."
The third elder brother said: "The ruler is short, you can't ride and shoot well, I'm not laughing at you!"
The ninth elder brother wanted to say something more, but the fourth elder brother glared at him and said, "Okay, you feel more energetic, right? Your head doesn't hurt anymore?"
Brother Jiu blinked and seemed much better.
He stopped talking and took a sip of water from the teacup.
My throat was dry, I just said a few more words, I was really thirsty.
Now that the third elder brother had been exposed, he became magnanimous and said to the fourth elder brother: "I don't have any other errands on my hands, so I have nothing to do when I am idle..."
It’s hard for Fourth Brother to answer the phone.
Between brothers, there is leisure and busyness.
From last year to this year, he had a lot of errands on his hands.
Now when I talk about other things, it seems like I can sit and talk without pain in my back.
The third elder brother looked at the tenth elder brother again and said: "Actually, the errands in the clan's mansion are not bad..."
The tenth elder brother nodded and said: "It's very good. If the third brother likes it, just tell Khan Ama that he will be the Zongling in the future..."
The third elder brother shook his head and said: "Forget it, forget it, Prince Jian is still young, he just came up..."
The key point is that the Zongren Mansion's Zongling is respectful and just listens.
In the neighboring yamen, there is a filial piety of "three festivals and two longevity", but only in the clan's mansion, this rule does not apply.
They are all clan members, so the whole day is about trivial matters.
No one's life is rich, and there is no promotion. The vacancies are filled entirely according to the level of the title, and there are no such things as empty ones.
The third elder brother looked at the ninth elder brother again and said: "Lao Ba has no errands to do now. If I don't go there, there will be others. Lao Jiu, you have to think about it..."
Brother Jiu scratched his ears and said, "Brother, did you hear me right? Why do your words sound wrong, and are you trying to sow discord?"
The third elder brother shook his head and said: "That's because you are too careful and think too much!"
Brother Ninth hummed and said: "That is Khan Amma's internal affairs office. Khan Amma has the final say. Third brother, it is useless for you to tell your younger brother about this. You should go to Qingxi Bookstore to talk about it..."
The third elder brother was really moved.
He nodded and said: "Since you don't object, then I'll go and talk about it. Anyway, I have nothing to do..."
He also worked hard to support him, thinking of using the ninth elder brother's request for leave to speak out.
The fourth elder brother wanted to persuade him, but the third elder brother didn't give him a chance, so he got up and left in a hurry.
The ninth elder brother and the tenth elder brother looked at each other.
Brother Jiu pointed to his head and said, "Why do you still feel like you've drunk too much, yet you don't use your brain?"
Brother 10 smiled and said: "After more than half a year, brother 9, your etiquette here is too eye-catching!"
Money moves people's hearts, and there is no other reason...
